Is the Co-Pilot now made out of a thicker dyneema than the one I bought a few years ago?
Also, does anyone know if a larger Co-Pilot is planned for the near future? I did not see it mentioned in the recent newsletter.
Thanks!
Original designs. Made in the U.S.A.

Yes, the Nordic and new Steel Co-Pilots are made of the thicker 400d Dyneema or the Ballistic nylon, and both are lined with the 200d Dyneema.
From the website:
Exterior of U.S. high tenacity 1050 denier ballistic nylon — or — ultralight 400d Dyneema®/420d nylon ripstop
Lined with 200 denier Japanese Dyneema®/nylon ultralight ripstop fabric
I think there has been talk about a larger Co-Pilot, but I don't remember anything definite being said. I would sure be interested in one!

It sounds like there will be a larger version of the Co-Pilot (The "Pilot"?) available eventually....
to quote Darcy, from a Sept. 22nd 2012 post, "Tom's designing a Pilot bag, which will roughly be the dimensions you listed. Stay tuned!"
I haven't seen an update on exact dimensions or rough time-frame of when it might be available, though. Maybe someone else knows more?
Aubergine/Steel Aeronaut; PCBP & other packing cubes; 2 Little Swifts; Large Shop Bag; Small Cafe Bag; Travel Tray; 2 Clear Quarter Packing Cubes; Cache (vertical, for iPad); Guardian Light; 3 x 3D Clear Organizer Cubes; 3 x 3D Organizer Cubes; 2 small Yarn Stuff Sacks; 3 Clear Organizer Wallets; Clear Organizer Pouches; Padded Organizer Pouch (mini); Pocket Pouch; key straps, utility straps, shoulder straps, Cafe Messenger Stabilizer, Cafe Bag waist strap, zipper pulls.
No timeframe info released. Many of us are waiting. I am hopeful. Darcy announced that the updated Side Effect, Synapse and Checkpoint Flyer are "coming soon." Perhaps, the next announcement will be the larger Co-Pilot, which has been dubbed as the "Pilot" somewhere in related threads on this forum.
